  • Dr. Dietrich is clearly awestruck at my longevity of care at MGH (since 1997 brain surgery) and eager to seek out and look for ways to help me now that I have issues with movement. I have now seen 3 doctors and been through three major rounds of testing, but this was Dr. Dietrich's first chance to review all of it. And now I'll have two more tests assigned by him...I am very much an ongoing "work in progress," but grateful to God for leading me to MGH SO LONG AGO!!!

  • This office was prompt, courteous, and cheerful. The assistant to the Doctor was very thorough in both his verbal and clinical review of my health status. When the specialist I had come to see came in, he was polite and had great positivity, despite the mysteries of my case. That is very important to me.

  • Dr. Dietrich is the kindest, most patient, and most thorough physician I have ever had. He treats me as a whole person, not just a diagnosis, and it's clear that he genuinely cares. He listens carefully to my questions, answers them clearly and thoughtfully, and never makes me feel rushed. During our appointments, he has an extraordinary ability to make me feel as though I am his most important patient. His combination of clinical excellence and humanity inspires deep trust and gratitude.

  • Dr. Dietrich is just wonderful. He's a great listener. He's very thoughtful. This time he brought in a neuro oncology fellow to talk with me and get my perspective as a long-term cleoblastoma survivor on her development as a physician. He's just the best. I've recommended him to somebody I know and will continue to do that. Thank you, Dr. Dietrich.

  • Hi, I'm very pleased with the doctor. The only thing was the technology. I wasn't able to get on the site because I guess they thought there was a miscommunication. They had it down as me doing an in-person interview, but it was supposed to be online. And other than that, it's a great practice.

  • Fantastic doctor

    2025-11-12

  • Dr Dietrich is the kindest most incredible doctor I have ever dealt with. He always treated us with kindness and respect and never "sugar coated" the test results. On each visit to MGH he was ALWAYS on time. As someone who has dealt with doctors for decades this was incredible to me. And the fact that he gave me his cell phone-unbelievable. I can't say enough good things.

I could not expect any more from any provider than what I experienced with Dr. Dietrich.

    2025-11-03

  • I was seen by a fellow who was very, very nice, very informative, and very thorough, and he was excellent. And then I was seen by the doctor, and they were very well-mannered, and really explained stuff to me, and set me up for some good testing.

    2025-10-29

  • The best

    2025-10-27

  • Dr. Dietrich is very knowledgeable, very kind, explained everything to me in layman's terms where I'm not a neurologist and he just put it into common sense terms for me.
